Denton Arts & Jazz Festival

Artist celebrates 10-year anniversary at festivalBy Jennifer D. McElroyFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

Tommy Thompson fondlycalls himself the “artmeister”and giggles at the possibilitythat some may be too youngto know where that termcomes from: 1980s surfermovies.

But he isn’t really a surferby any means.

His 42 years as an acrylicsand pen/ink artist may verywell make him well-seasonedbeyond the years of many. Hehas fine-tuned his process ofsketching and painting intoanother creative artform: astory.

“Usually my artwork is anarrative,” he says. “I try tocapture the moment in ascene.”

His process is simple: Hefinds something he’s enam-ored with, then click, click,clicks away with his cameraand sits down at his desk totransform his photo sketchinto an inspiring narration.

The vibrant colors and set-tings of his paintings take ona life of their own in the jazzatmosphere of cultural NewOrleans and its FrenchQuarters, where Thompsonfirst made a professionalname for himself.

His art subjects act morelike protagonists in a storyand range from jazz bandswho are no strangers to theBig Easy to a lone man wear-ing a Captain Morgan shirt,resembling a modern-daypirate.

In 2003, with the waningof gallery sales in NewOrleans, Thompson took hisart public. The Denton Arts &Jazz Festival was one of thefirst, among many, publicevents that brought a flockingcrowd to see and purchase hisprints.

New Braunfels’ Old GrueneMarket Days, Old TownSpring’s wine festival and theGrapevine GrapeFest are justa few among many art venuesthat displays his art.

His booth, a regular desti-nation for artgoers and musicenthusiasts alike, will make

its imprint in the grass for thisupcoming Denton Arts & JazzFest of 2013 and will mark asuccessful 10 years of display-ing his art in the area.

“There’s a lot of jazz in myart but I think I may spreadout to do other musicians, too,”he says. “I went down quiteoften to the French Quarterand sketched in the nightclubsand jazz halls. I love the atmos-phere of it all.”

The infamous jazz scene ofDenton and Thompson’s artseem to go hand-in-hand, andThompson will sell hand-over-

paint giclees — specially madecanvas printed and mountedon boards with acid-freemounting — at this year’s festi-val.

“I paint for two to threehours on each giclee so eachone comes out distinct, specialand different,” Thompson said.

Along with his enhancedgiclees, Thompson will be sell-ing his art from small prints tolarge, original paintings rang-ing anywhere from $40 to$400 at his booth throughoutthe weekend of Denton Arts &Jazz.

Young dancers perform at last year’s festival.

Denton Arts & Jazz Festival

The David Sanborn Trio headlines Arts & Jazz FestivalBy Annette NevinsFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

Each time David Sanbornsteps onto stage with his saxo-phone he takes a soulful jour-ney. But he never travels alone.

He brings with him themusic of Stevie Wonder, JamesBrown, David Bowie, PaulSimon, Bruce Springsteen, theRolling Stones and EricClapton. He has played withthem all.

Sanborn has built a 40-yearcareer crossing genres. Still,his alto sax has a distinctivetone that entertains, inspires,tells a story and moves theheart.

Get ready to join the adven-ture. The renowned saxophon-ist will be going to a place hehas never gone before. For thefirst time in its 33-year history,the David Sanborn Trio will beheadlining the Denton Arts &Jazz Festival, kicking off thethree-day festival with a per-formance Friday night.

Sanborn, who has released24 albums and won sixGrammy Awards, comparesplaying music to telling stories.He is looking forward to creat-ing a new chapter as he comesto Denton.

“I’ve never been, and I fore-see some exciting musicalmoments,” says Sanborn, wholives currently lives in New

York City, close to his son andgrandchildren.

Sanborn, 67, sees himselfgoing on a new journey everytime he plays. It’s not pre-dictable.

“You can’t calculate it,” hesays. “It’s how you respond towhat’s happening in the now ishow the music unfolds.”

Sanborn’s story began tounfold when he first picked upthe saxophone at the age of 11.He had contracted polio at theage of 3, and his doctor said itwould help strengthen andexpand his weakened lungsand the muscles in his chest.

The more he practiced, themore Sanborn took an interestin listening to the jazz andrhythm and blues artists of hisday, emulating their styles.

“I grew up around first gen-eration of jazz and rhythm andblues; the lines were lessblurred then,” he says. “Today,that’s not an issue. Theyounger generation is used tolistening to a blend, and that’sgood.”

Such “cross-pollination”opens up the playing field formusicians, he says.

Born in Tampa, Fla.,Sanborn grew up in Kirkwood,Mo., just outside St. Louis,which had become a hub forblues artists and jazz musi-cians just as Sanborn was

beginning to learn to play thesax. He became quite accom-plished on the instrument,which he would often turn toin his free time as an outlet forthe sort of emotions that oftenrun rampant in a boy in histeenage years.

Blues had a big presence inSt. Louis, and Little Miltonand Albert King were amongthe local performers whowould play at the recreationcenter. One rainy day, whenthe pool was closed, Sanborn’sfriends went inside to the hallto watch the bands.

Sanborn was shy but hisoutgoing drummer friend gotto know the guy who playedpiano with Little Milton.When he told him they playedin the high school band, thepiano player told them to goget their instruments and jointhem.

After a while, instead ofgoing to the pool, Sanborn andhis friends would perform gigsat the recreation center andother clubs around theirhome, toting their instrumentsaround town, asking artists ifthey could sit in.

Not all the artists were asinviting to the young teens asMilton. One time whenSanborn asked another band if

he could sit in on their playing,all the members of the bandrolled their eyes. But whenSanborn began playing “CoolBlues” by Sonny Stitt, theirjaws dropped. They kept invit-ing him back, introducing himto players like David Eldridgeand Julius Hemphill

Sanborn went to studymusic at NorthwesternUniversity, but he later trans-ferred to the University ofIowa, where he played andstudied with the great saxo-phonist J.R. Monterose.

The West Coast was wheremany musicians went to gettheir start. So after college,Sanborn traveled to Californiawhere he joined theButterfield Band. He played atWoodstock and performedwith the Rolling Stones. Hetoured with Stevie Wonderand David Bowie.

The saxophone also provid-ed an entry into the spotlightfor Sanborn, the once-shymusician who used to refer tohis friends to introduce him toartists. From 1988 to 1990,Sanborn hosted Night Music,a television show featuringfilms of jazz legends like BillieHolliday and Miles Davis. Hebecame a regular host of ABC’sAfter New Year’s Eve television

special and he hosted the JazzShow syndicated radio pro-gram in the 1980s and 1990s.

Sanborn’s solo recordingstypically blend jazz withinstrumental pop and R&Band include the popular“Chicago Song” and “Straightto the Heart.” He says he oftenplays by ear, “pushing the lim-its and moving out of comfortzones.”

The single “All I Need IsYou” won Sanborn his firstGrammy Award in 1982 forbest rhythm and blues instru-mental performance. He hashad eight gold albums and oneplatinum album. The popularmusician is often booked yearround with tour dates some-time exceeding 150 per year,and he rarely goes more thantwo years between releases.Sanborn was inducted into theSt. Louis Walk of Fame in2004.

In 2010, Sanborn touredwith a trio featuring JoeyDeFrancesco for the albumOnly Everything. He says per-forming with such talentedmusicians as DeFrancescoinspires his music.

“He’s an amazing organist,”Sanborn says. “It’s going to bean enjoyable journey for usand the audience in Denton.”

The Original Blues Brothers to perform SaturdayBy Christian McPhateFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

Trademark dark suits fittedto perfection, black hats slight-ly tilted and signature sun-glasses lowered, the BluesBrothers step behind themicrophones to deliver a blendof electrifying jazz-influencedsounds of New York City andsoulful tones of Chicago/Memphis blues.

Led by an ensemble cast ofworld-renowned musicians,the Original Blues BrothersBand is headlining this year’sDenton Arts & Jazz Festival onSaturday. The Jazz Stage willnever be the same.

“It has to do with the chem-istry of such a wide range ofcats,” explains saxophonist“Blue” Lou Marini, aUniversity of North Texasalumnus. He’s been with theBlues Brothers since thebeginning. “I always call it theworld’s greatest part-time job.”

It was 1978. The Volks-wagen Beetle was dying, SpaceInvaders was invading, andSaturday Night Live wasdominating late-night televi-sion with the help of a talentedcast that included comediansBill Murray, Gilda Radner andJohn Candy. It was JohnBelushi and Dan Aykroyd’slast season to appear as regu-lars on the variety show.Marini was playing in the SNLstudio band when Elwood(Aykroyd) and Jake (Belushi)Blues made their first official

appearance. “It was just electric,” Marini

says. Not long after the SNL

appearance, the BluesBrothers landed a gig openingfor Steve Martin, who was atthe height of his popularity atthe time, at the UniversalAmphitheatre in Los Angeles.Since the original appearancewas a skit, pianist Paul Shafferassembled studio talents tohelp make this blues dream areality: guitarists SteveCropper and Matt Murphy,bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn,Julliard-trained trumpeterAlan Rubin and trombonistTom Malone were all selected.

Marini was also tapped tojoin the band. His roots in bigband music — his father was ahigh school band director —and his mastery of the jazz sax-ophone were just a natural fitto the music that the BluesBrothers would create.

“On the third day of rehears-al, we sort of looked at eachother, and it was like, ‘Wow,this stuff is burning,’” he says.“It was really strong; it wassomething special.”

The band arrived in LosAngeles not knowing what toexpect, but as soon as they hitthe stage, dark sunglassesreflecting the stage lights, thecrowd fell in love with them.After each show, actors such asRobert DeNiro, Bette Midler,Danny DeVito and MerylStreep were making appear-

ances backstage. “It was amaz-ing,” Marini says.

Then the first BluesBrothers album, Briefcase Fullof Blues, was released andreached No. 1 on the Billboard200. It sold 3.5 millionrecords. “It was a whirlwindthing,” says Marini.

And just as suddenly as itstarted, it ended. Belushi wasfound dead in his apartment.Speedball, a mixture ofcocaine and heroin, had quick-ly ended the young BluesBrother’s life.

“Nobody thought we’d everreally play again,” Marini says.

Then, in the fall of ’86,Aykroyd’s wife, actress DonnaDixon, wanted to do some-thing special for her husband’s40th birthday, so she arrangedfor the original Blues Brothersto reunite and surprise herhusband with something thatnobody thought was possible:another show.

“It proved to be a gas,”remembers Marini. “Everyoneloved it so much.”

Subsequently, promoters inEurope and Asia approachedthe band, wanting to sendthem on tour. Everyoneagreed, and soon the band wasflying to Europe, a place heav-ily influenced by blues and jazzmusic; and the reunited band’spopularity has continued tosoar.

“The current edition of theband is really smoking,”Marini says.

Kids can choose from 10 dif-ferent activities including fin-ger painting, stamp making,marble painting, paper platemasks, pom-pom creatures,face painting and clay-makingstations. Art supplies are pro-vided by the Denton FestivalFoundation.

The UNT NAEA con-tributes extensive planningand hours of work to theChildren’s Art Tent, and thegroup even added an addition-al outreach coordinator posi-tion to their officer roster to

help with the Jazz Festivalevent. Student members arein charge of inventorying sup-plies, arranging and manningthe art stations and planningfor accessibility and flow oftraffic, accommodating for upto 5,000 visitors to movethrough the tent over thecourse of the weekend.

“If things go as well as lastyear, I’ll be thrilled,” Lawrencesaid. “Parents with doublestrollers were able to getthrough the tent with ease,and things went off without ahitch.”

A nice addition to theChildren’s Art Tent this year isinclusion of hand-washingsinks near the clay-makingstation. Organizers also addeda face-painting station, wherekids can have simple designspainted on their cheeks for afew dollars, as a fundraiser forthe NAEA student group.

“The Children’s Art Tent is agreat service to the communi-ty, and the Jazz Festival need-ed a good group of people thatcan drive it,” Lawrence said.“As art education majors, weare trained to create activitieswith enduring ideas behindthem, emphasizing the cross-curricular so not only are kidslearning art skills but they’realso learning higher-level

thinking strategies.”UNT’s student-run NAEA is

a 40-year-old chapter, and theactive campus group aims towork with children at localevents as much as possible,benefitting not only the kidsbut also NAEA members, whoare all future educators. Eachsemester, the group partnerswith area schools to provide“Art Nights” for Title 1 cam-puses in need of creative proj-ects for the kids.

Children who learn to paircreative thinking with otherlearning skills perform betterin subjects like math and sci-

ence, Lawrence said, and UNTstudents who participate inevents like art nights and theChildren’s Art Tent gain valu-able experience up-close withthe children.

“Creative activities preparekids not only to be artistic, butto be more productive citizens,to engage in the communitysocially, and to think about theconcepts behind the art,”Lawrence said. “My hope forthe Jazz Festival Children’s ArtTent is that people can learnmore about our organizationand that the kids have a trulygreat time while learning

something new.” The Children’s Art Tent will

be open Saturday from 10 a.m.to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11a.m. to 7 p.m.

The NAEA student volun-teers will serve rotating two-hour shifts throughout theweekend, and last year addi-tional volunteers joined fromorganizations including TWUAthletics, DISD art teachers,Guyer, Lake Dallas, and ArgyleHigh Schools, and otherfriends and Top Hands (offi-cial Arts and Jazz Festival vol-unteers), making the tent ahuge success.

Denton Arts & Jazz Festival

Brave Combo set to close festival with performance Sunday nightBy Amelia JaycenFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

Brave Combo not only chal-lenges the feet with a dare-to-dance attitude pouring fromthe stage, but their music chal-lenges the mind, mixing globalgenres including mambo,meringue, waltz, zydeco, clas-sical, cha cha, the blues — and,of course, polka.

Led by charismatic founderand frontman Carl Finch, thegroup holds a long-time tradi-tion of headlining the closingshow at Denton’s annual Arts& Jazz Festival. The Sundaynight performance at thisyear’s event will be no excep-tion.

Brave Combo is known forpushing musical limits, suc-cessfully riding the linebetween comedy and mastery,giving performances that are amix of dancing fun and seriousmusicianship while living upto their famous lyricizedmotto: “Do something differ-ent.”

Their signature element isuse of the once uncool accor-dion (sometimes two or threeof them), traditionally playedby Finch and, more recently,by Ginny Mac, the group’snewest member who plays her

full-size instrument withcharisma.

Established in Denton in1979, the group has been cred-ited with popularizing theinstrument and the polkasound, while borrowing from— and often completely re-inventing — an array ofAmerican and non-Americangenres. Rock, folk, country,funk and R&B, to name a few,collide with internationalinfluences to create BraveCombo’s “nuclear” polkasound.

While polka traditionallysuffers a bad rap, for Finch it isthe fine line between honoringand judging music youencounter — between a per-son’s intentions and what theyactually accomplished — thatis worth walking.

Considering polka, which istraditionally used in a comicalsetting, the question tends toarise: is this band just aboutthe kitsch?

“The kitsch thing requiredsomebody to be judgmental,”Finch said in a preview of BartWeiss and Mark Birnbaum’sforthcoming documentaryabout Brave Combo. “It’s easyto find an audience whenyou’re just throwing that stuff

out there.” More difficult perhaps is

gaining respect by combininga light-hearted, vapidly experi-mental style with an impres-sive array of musical talent ontens of instruments, forming acreative mesh of styles, genresand performances that touch-es many cultures and settings.

“Whatever you do, exerciseyour ability to be in a situationand to approach it with nojudgmental attitude at all,”Finch said. “The more you dothat, the more you are capableof mastering the situation.Doing that, for me, led me topolka in a most cosmic way.”

Brave Combo’s recognitionsinclude two Grammy awardsand seven total nominations,and they have a staggeringcareer of more than 30 releas-es, nine foreign releases andvarious assorted projects andcompilations. Notable per-formances include the Macy’sThanksgiving Day parade,David Byrne’s wedding recep-tion, and a virtual perform-ance at an Oktoberfest cele-bration in a 2004 episode ofThe Simpsons.

The title of the most eclecticband to ever come fromDenton is not to be takenlightly, considering the extent

of weirdness that grows in acity increasingly more well-known for its thriving D.I.Y.music scene. Brave Combo,whose debut show was in acreative studio at North TexasState University in 1979, hasmaintained their home-basein Denton despite nationaland international recognition.

The band’s members, pastand present, exude a degree ofpersonal rebellion, abandon oftraditional rules and musicalexploration that resonateswith their fans. Sounds pour-ing from the speakers areskilled creations that maymove from a polka to a rumba,from waltz into rock or fromthe ultimately original to theclassic cover within a singlesong, and the six-membergroup is known for a surpris-ingly rich, sonic live sound.

Band members includeFinch, who provides lead gui-tar, vocals, keyboards andaccordion; long-time memberJeffrey Barnes — known forhis elaborate performancewardrobe — whose musicalmastery includes saxophone,harmonica, flute and an arrayof other reeds and woodwinds;Danny O’Brien, trumpet andvocals; Little Jack Melody,bass guitar; Alan Emert,

drums; and Ginny Mac, whojoined the band in 2011 andhas been playing accordionsince the age of 7.

The 2013 Denton Arts &Jazz Festival performance willfeature two special guest musi-cians: Danny Jerabeck, ofCopper Box, a good friend andpolka buddy with whom Finchjust celebrated release of theirside project, The Nice Musics.Jerabeck plays button boxaccordion (an accordion withno keys) and trombone and isa sort of sixth member ofBrave Combo. Mike Dillon, ofthe Dead Kenny G’s, will bringon the groove with an array ofpercussion sounds.

“Of course we’ve got a fullarsenal of our regular crazystuff to unleash at the JazzFestival. We always try to giveour good friends in Denton aquality show, and we appreci-ate all the people who comeout and all the young peoplego berserk,” Finch said.

Crowds ready to dance andexperience the many flavors ofmusic and dance that makeBrave Combo a Dentonfavorite can attend the DentonArts & Jazz Festival Sundayevening performance, whereBrave Combo is sure to “DoSomething Different.”

Jimenez forges metal into memoriesBy Jane R. LeBlancFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

Before an ounce of silver orgold is ever shaped, MarkJimenez first sketches eachpiece with pencil and paper athis Silver Mountain Designsstudio in Albuquerque’s his-toric district.

The building isn’t much tospeak of — a sand-colored box,it is framed by a few sparsetrees, its glass front windowsbutting up against the side-walk of Rio Grande Boulevard.

But inside is different —inside is where an artist’simagination takes shapethrough raw metal and loosestones.

For Jimenez, it all startswith a theme. His latest series,Living Spirit, is a celebrationof relationships, in silver andgold, precious and semi-pre-cious stones. The series honorsboth those living and thosewho have passed, the connec-tions we forge as humanbeings.

The importance of that sen-

timent shows in the expertcraftsmanship of Jimenez’swork, a level of expertisehoned over 40 years at thejeweler’s bench.

He’ll be showcasing hiswork at this year’s Denton Jazz& Arts Festival.

Jimenez’s first attempt atjewelry making was at 15 yearsold. He’s never forgotten it.

Jimenez is part of the 10thgeneration of artists in a line-age dating back to 1732, onerich with weavers, print mak-ers, furniture makers andstone carvers.

His generation is the first tocreate jewelry, he and his sisterthe lone jewelers. His ancestryis a mix of Hispanic andNative American — Spanish,Dominican, Mescalero,Chiricahua Apache — “a typi-cal New Mexican,” he says.

Part of his Living Spiritseries is a three-stone sterlingsilver ring of box construction— the outside of the ring issquare, while the inside isround to fit on the finger.

Lifelong love of art brings Sowells to festivalBy Jane R. LeBlancFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

As a 5-year-old boy growingup in Dallas, young FrankSowells Jr.’s mother knew tonever leave the house withoutpaper and something to writewith. Her budding artistalways had an illustration inmind, a story waiting to getout.

At the doctor’s office oneday, little Frank’s illustrationsbecame the topic of conversa-tion. “Did your son draw that?He’s very good,” the doctorsaid. “Very good.” Inspired bythe doctor’s praise, Frank’smother entered him into hisfirst art competition.

“I drew a pirate,” the now54-year-old Sowells says fromthe living room of his Dallashome. “I’ll never forget that.”Although he was just havingfun, he had an undeniable tal-ent. He won the competition.

Sowells is always sketching,always thinking of new ideas.Even during service at hischurch, The Potter’s House.When Bishop T.D. Jakes giveshis sermon, Sowells is busysketching — with his finger.

“My pastor is very vivid

when telling stories of theBible,” he says.

As the pastor told the storyof Samson, without thinking,Sowells took his finger andstarted sketching a scene onhis leg. He outlined Samson’shead and arms, envisioning apainting in his head. His wifeis used to it. She knows that assoon as they get home, Sowellswill have an idea to transfer topaper. And once an idea issketched on paper, the nextstep is committing it to canvas.

Sowells never limits himselfto one style or influence. Hispainting portfolio includesabstract pieces, cubism,impressionism and realism,and he still draws in pen andpencil. “This is what I wasborn to do,” he says. “This isGod’s inspiration workingthrough me.” His subjectsrange from African-inspiredstories, to Biblical representa-tions, to his highly popular jazzpieces.

“I’m very inspired by [jazz]artists, to recreate them into apainting or an abstract,” hesays.

In fact, he’s the creator of theart you’ll see on this year’s offi-

cial Denton Arts & JazzFestival T-shirts and posters.The piece is titled “Fingertips

of Talent,” and shows a smat-tering of hands on a cluster ofjazz instruments — a saxo-

phone, a violin, a keyboard andmore. It’s all about the music,just like the festival.

Magician pullssmiles out of hatBy Jennifer D. McElroyFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

Sometimes Al Curlett likesto wake up around 5 a.m. andspends the majority of hismorning twisting and foldingballoons into flower rings,foot-tall hats and even a child-size sit-in racecar.

But other times he prefersdoing it on the spot so he cancatch the gleam in a person’seye as he transforms a deflatedballoon into nothing less thanan inflated work of art.

Children and adults alikecan catch him weaving bal-loons as he weaves in and outof festival-goers at the DentonArts & Jazz Festival over theweekend. He’ll also be per-forming as a magician forthree 45-minute sets on hisstage each day as he dons histop hat and leaps onto hisstage located in the Children’stent.

Just don’t ask him to makeany swords or dog balloons.

Curlett isn’t afraid to thinkout of the box, even if it comesdown to a wager fromCinnabon that he can’t make agiant cinnamon roll. Well, hedid and he has the pictures toprove it.

His creations can take himanywhere from 30 minutes toan hour to complete, depend-ing on the scale and complex-ity of the design he’s con-structing with his experthands, and prefers for festival-goers to always come backand pay him a visit for a bal-loon creation, only for theprice of a smile.

“I knew there had to bemore to do than just dogs andswords,” Curlett says.

Magic is never too young ortoo old for anyone as thismagician has seen first-handthe enjoyment in the eyes ofanyone from 7 years old to 70years old.

“Honestly, a lot of the kidscatch on to my magic tricksmore than adults do,” Curlettsaid with a smile and chuckle.

With the coming festivalcomes many surprises Curletthas hidden up his sleeve andhas a little something foreveryone, whether it be a bou-quet of balloon flowers or agiant cinnamon roll.

The Singing Cowboy returns to festivalBy Annette NevinsFor the Denton Record-Chronicle

His hair tucked under awhite felt Western hat, theblue-eyed cowboy in a but-toned-down shirt and red ban-danna strums a guitar andcroons about starry nights,chasing chickens and ridinghorses.

There is no crackling of thecampfire or the smell of burn-ing wood, only rattling ofhomemade oatmeal-containerdrums, wrapping-paper tuberainmakers and the giggling ofchildren.

This time, all eyes are on thelittle boy using his tongue tomove his loose bottom tooth.

Placing his lasso aside, thecowboy flashes a wide whitesmile and plucks a new songon the guitar, his fingers glid-ing across the frets of the hol-lowed stringed instrument.

“Everybody look,” he sings.“He’s got a wiggly tooth. He’sgot a wiggly tooth at the bot-tom of the soup.”

Life on the trail as a chil-dren’s entertainer can be justas unpredictable as a loosetooth, but spontaneity is whatdrives the shows of Joel Reese,the Singing Cowboy.

This time he will be addingsomething new to his per-formance at this year’s DentonArts & Jazz Festival. In addi-tion to performing in the chil-dren’s tents, he will be ventur-ing out to various other stagesat the festival to perform forthe entire crowd.

“I’m a storyteller,” Reesesays. “I like to tell stories thatentertain and make peoplelaugh and cry and most of all,learn and dream.”

Reese is mostly known forhis interactive educationalsongs that involve making uplyrics along the way. He is cur-rently performing concertsand planning music series andworkshops geared towardadult audiences in theTemecula wine country inCalifornia, where he lives withhis wife, 5-year-old daughterand 2-year-old twin son anddaughter. This will be his 12th

year to perform at the festival.Temecula is the birthplace

of his career, where Reese firstbegan singing along to countrymusic songs that played on histiny transistor radio that hecarried around with him onhis family’s farm. His motherwould play Chet Atkinsrecords and he begged her fora guitar like the ones thatJohnny Cash and GlenCampbell would play on musi-cal variety shows he watchedon television.

But it was the songs hisgrandmother sang about theland and the games she wouldplay by hiding coins in treesand behind the barn thatintrigued Reese the most. Hebegan to see how music couldteach by entertaining.

“Music gets children to talkabout their feelings and dreamabout what they want to be,”Reese says with a contagioussort of energy. “People wouldoften ask my dad if he was Mr.Rogers because he had such apoetic, congenial interest inchildren. I kind of inheritedthat from him.”

From the ranchlands inTexas and Oklahoma toCalifornia’s wine country,Reese opened shows for suchWestern artists as Riders inthe Sky, Michael MartinMurphy and the Sons of theSan Joaquin. More talent con-tests and performances atrodeos and even a perform-ance for President GeorgeBush led Reese to Nashville in1986. He performed in theOpryland music theme parkwith Minnie Pearl, whosecomical performances withher trademark hat with a price

tag taught him the importanceof having fun and interactingwith his audience.

Performing with musicianshe idolized as a child, Reesewas able to publish a few of hissongs with George Strait andGarth Brook’s companies inNashville. He even met andperformed with GlenCampbell. As a children’s per-former, he became one of thesongwriters for the CountryMusic Hall of Fame educa-tional programs and he wrotesongs for the VanderbiltKennedy Center’s “Ready, Set,Van Gogh” program.

But no one encouraged hiswork with children more thanhis own four children, begin-ning with his first daughterwho was born in 1991.

“Just seeing life throughtheir eyes inspires me,” he says.

Drawing from “OldMcDonald Had a Farm,” hewrote “A Whole Lot ofAnimals” as his daughter wascrawling on the floor playingwith stuffed animals.

Folk songs inspire, too.While performing old stand-bys like “Deep in the Heart ofTexas” and favorites by FrankSinatra to Elvis Presley andRoy Orbison, Reese often usesold songs and soulful manipu-lation of guitar strings to buildnew melodies, accenting eachshow with a bit of comedy andoriginal compositions.

His “AM Gold” ’70s acousticmusic is a favorite of audi-ences. Most of the time, Reeseperforms in a cowboy hat andboots. A saddlebag and lassoare just as much of the show ashis guitar.

“Everybody loves a cowboy,”he says, “and there are won-derful lessons about dreamsthat can be learned on thetrail.”

When children ask for hisautograph, he draws a line,marks an X and asks them towrite down what they want tobe when they grow up.

“I want to teach children tobelieve in themselves,” Reesesays. “Music is the languagethat everyone understands.”
